I disagree with the poster who said you were moronic and simple-minded.
You put out a provocative question to try and open others' minds - Zen masters and Socrates did the same.
Please don't say someone is simple-minded because they ask a leading question.
As for the answer, most people don't doubt that Jesus existed, but just whether or not he was the Son of God. Read some of the questions the atheists have posted on Yahoo Answers about Adam and Eve being incestuous etc... It will soon become clear that Christianity is a bunch of complete nonsense.
Furthermore, it stands in the way of progress and always has done. They were after Copernicus, Galileo - how many scientific texts have Christians burned throughout the centuries? In the modern era they oppose cloning, stem cell research.
And it's frankly embarrassing that we believe in that stuff. If any aliens come to earth and someone tells them about Jesus, they'll die laughing.

The Bible never says that there weren't dinosaurs. In fact, the book of Job (thought to be the oldest book of the Bible) describes a creature that sounds JUST like a Brontosaurus. I wonder how someone thousands of years ago knew exactly what a dinosaur looked like.....
There is also plenty of evidence that Jesus existed, you just are more interested in inflaming people than investigating the facts. Check out a book by Lee Stobel titled A Case For Christ. It was written by a very well educated atheist/lawyer/journalist who set out to prove that the Bible was fiction so that his Christian wife would be forced to come to her senses. Instead, he inadvertently proved logically and scientifically that the Bible, or at least the Gospels, are in fact true. Needless to say, he is no longer an atheist.

Well there is a lot more evidence that dinosaurs existed because we have their bones.
Still, even though I am not a Christian, I still believe that a man named Jesus lived. I believe because there is mention of him in some Jewish texts (as a renegade rabbi) and in some Roman historical texts (not much is mentioned other than that he was a guy preaching peace but stirring up trouble in Judea). But in both cases he is mentioned by name. The Jews and the Romans didn't think Jesus was God, they just acknowledged him as a man.
I'm a Hindu and I acknowledge him as a guru (teacher).

(I thought he said God... why has this become a Chirst Believers question?!)
Yup, there is almost non-existant amount of evidence for Jesus except for the bible (a history book if you will, you don't have to believe in history books, they can always be quite perspectively changed)
You can say those fossils are evidence for dinosaurs, but then again, I can say those fossils are evidence for long lost human civilization, and they liked to used bone shaped building blocks to build things. You can't say I am wrong because there is again, no evidence to prove I am wrong. Of course, I can't say I am absolutely correct without evidence to back mine now, can I?

Christianity spread like wild fire in the days after Jesus' Resurrection. This was spread mostly by his disciples after witnessing him alive after death. At that time they were threatened with their lives if they told the story! Why would they continue this "Fairy Tale" if it meant certain death? Because of what they witnessed! It is a widely accepted fact that Jesus did live it is not 100% accepted he is the Savior.
Dinosaurs obviously existed as well, I am not sure what you are getting at but they are referred to in the Bible if that is what you mean.

Actually there is proof of both. Dinosaurs are shown with fossil evidence. Jesus is shown with Roman records of travel and travelling taxers. We do not know where his body is though. Then again, we do not know where Ghengis Khans is either.

Anthony,
Scientist don't think an astroid killed the Dinos anymore. Please catch up with the rest of us before you open your mouth.
Michael,
I don't know who lied to you but there is no roman record of jesus. Even the sencus the bible claims happened is not recorded by the Romans. The Romans were very good record keepers.

If EVIDENCE is your only criterion, you're right, but remember you started your question with the words "God BELIEVERS"!
To believe is to accept that something is true, WITHOUT EVIDENCE.
